Mary Burke’s latest TV ad says the state can’t afford another four years of Scott Walker.

The spot opens with a shot of Walker at a crowded news conference as the narrator says “Four years of political fistfights, criminal convictions …”

The ad then cuts to a newscaster saying “the criminal convictions of six Walker aides or supporters” as mugshots are shown. Text in all capital letters appears on the screen, “Prosecutors allege Scott Walker at center of criminal scheme” with a citation to a newspaper story.

The narrator then mentions secret donations, tax cuts for the wealthy “10 times the size of yours” and a job promise broken.

“Where’s all that gotten us?” the narrator asks to close the spot. “A state divided, the worst jobs record in the Midwest and a future that looks more uncertain every day. We can’t afford four more years of Scott Walker, and we don’t have to.”
